Stitches... skip this one if you have a weak stomach!

Friday was a rough day for The Bub!

First, Sarge kicked out Bub's sixth loose tooth.

Then later in the day, we headed to the hospital for stitches.
The B Leader was swinging a metal broomstick around acting like a ninja.
He was hitting it on a traffic cone we have in our backyard.
Part of the broomstick broke off...
Flew into the air...
And smacked Bub in the head.

I was inside when I heard screaming and B yelling,
"Put your hand on it!"
In comes Bub, blood dripping off his hand.
I washed it off in the sink knowing that head injuries bleed a lot,
but he had a huge gash in his head!
We tried pressure, but it was still bleeding, so we took him to the hospital.
I was more worried about a concussion or something,
but it was still bleeding at the hospital over 30 mins. later.

The nurse took one look at it and laid out the bed
with a bunch of towels and such.
They put a cotton ball with some medicine that slows the bleeding and numbs the area.
It's a life saver!
Bub didn't even feel the numbing shots!
He ended up with five stitches.







So in this family we've had
A broken arm,
A broken leg,
A collapsed lung,
And stitches.

Guess who's had them all????
